[Intro]
D G D G
[Verse 1]
D G
They know how to tell you that loaded up Tacoma, it ain't gonna take you anywhere
D G
They know how to make you feel a little bit guilty 'bout trying to get out of there
D G
They know a guy that'll take you part time, $12.50 just starting out
D G
They know it won't be very long till you're turnin' that truck around
[Chorus]
D G
And they know, how to say you'll never make it on your own, like they've got an "I told you
Bm A G
So" they're savin' for the day your fading red tail lights are headed back home
D G
And they know, how to tell you it'll all go wrong
Bm A G
How to tell you that road's too long, too far, too damn hard, boy it ain't no way to go
D G
But what do they know
[Verse 2]
D G
They know how to tell you my shotgun seat's no place for a girl you
D G
Know who they think I am, I ain't the kind of man you should tie your tomorrows to
D G
They know that we're settling, because we ain't settling, moving on don't mean moving up
D G
Know that we're going too fast, never gonna last, but baby they don't know us
[Chorus]
D G
But they know, how to say you'll never make it on your own, like they've got an "I told you
Bm A G
So" they're savin' for the day your fading red tail lights are headed back home
D G
And they know, how to tell you it'll all go wrong
Bm A G
How to tell you that road's too long, too far, too damn hard, boy it ain't no way to go
D G
But what do they know
Bm A G
What do they know
[Bridge]
Bm A
They know my voice when they hear it on the
G
Radio station that's playing back home
Bm A
They know all the words to the songs I'm singing
G
And they know they're gonna sing along
[Chorus]
D G
But they know, how to say you'll never make it on your own, like they've got an "I told you
Bm A G
So" they're savin' for the day your fading red tail lights are headed back home
D G
And they know, how to tell you it'll all go wrong
Bm A G
How to tell you that road's too long, too far, too damn hard, boy it ain't no way to go
D G
What do they know
Bm A G
What do they know
[Outro]
D
They know how to tell you
That loaded up Tacoma
It ain't gonna take you anywhere
They know how to make you
Feel a little bit guilty
'Bout trying to get to outta there
They know a guy
That'll take you part-time
12.50, just starting out
They know it won't
Be very long
Till you're turning that truck around
And they know
How to say you'll never make it on your own
Like they've got an "I told you so"
They're saving for
The day your fading red
Taillights are headed back home
And they know
How to tell you it'll all go wrong
How to tell you that road's
Too long, too far, too damn hard
Boy, it ain't nowhere to go
But what do they know?
And they know how to tell you
My shotgun seat's
No place for a girl like you
Know who they think I am
That I ain't the kind of man
You should tie your tomorrows to
They know that was settling
Because we ain't settling
Moving on don't mean moving up
Know that we're going too fast
Never gonna last
But baby they don't know us
They know
How to say you'll never make it on your own
Like they've got an "I told you so"
They're saving for
The day your fading red
Taillights are headed back home
And they know
How to tell you it'll all go wrong
How to tell you that road's
Too long, too far, too damn hard
Boy, it ain't nowhere to go
But what do they know?
What do they know?
Will they know my voice when they hear on the radio
Station that I'm playing back home
And they know all the words to the songs I'm singing
And they know they wanna sing along
And they know
How to say you'll never make it on your own
Like they've got an "I told you so"
They're saving for
The day your fading red
Taillights are headed back home
And they know
How to tell you it'll all go wrong
How to tell you that road's
Too long, too far, too damn hard
Boy, it ain't nowhere to go
But what do they know?
What do they know?
